Chapter 203: Let’s Head to the Misty S
Blood Moon City.
Adventurers' Hall.
Uhe sparse crowd of previous days, today the hall acked with adventurers.
Their sharp senses for information had brought these seasoned individuals to life.
"Have you heard? The Carlisle family has developed a new ruin in the Misty S!"
"A new ruin? What’s the big deal?"
"Yeah, there are so many ruins under Blood Moon City, with new ones discovered every few days. Who cares about some backwater ruin in the Misty S?"
"That’s where you’re wrong! This ruin is no joke—I heard its value is estimated at several million gold s!"
"Several million gold s? Really? a pce like the Misty S even have such a ruin?"
"I don’t believe it. Blood Moon City hasn’t found a ruin of that scale in over a decade."
"I heard some rumors from the Kingdom of Lok that a massive a ruin was fouh their capital, but they haven’t ope up yet…"
"A ruin of that size would be suicide for us—don’t even think about it."
"I heard about this Carlisle family ruin, and it’s likely true sihey fought with Bay Territory over it."
"The Carlisle family made a move again? The local lord must be unlucky—losing the ruin and probably having to pay pensation."
"Actually, it’s the Carlisle family that’s paying pensation!"
"What? The Carlisle family lost? How is that possible? The st time they lost was when they cshed with the Radiant Moon family in the west!"
"They did lose. A few days ago, they sent a huge shipment of supplies to the Thorn Mert Guild!"
"The same guild that’s been hiring bor and refugees? I heard they’re loaded and very generous with their payments!"
"Yeah, my cousin works for the Thorn Mert Guild, and they pay 25% more than uilds."
"Too bad their hiring standards are high, and you have to take a trip to the Misty S every month, so I didn’t go for it…"
"Oh? Did you see? They’re expanding their recruitment again, but this time it’s for work in the nearby Desote City…"
"Desote City? That area hasn’t been safe tely. I heard there’s been trouble with barbarian wanderers and many refugees from the south."
"The Thorn Mert Guild is going there to recruit refugees. I heard they’re pnning to send them all to the Misty S…"
"…"
As the crowd buzzed with chatter, a burst of colorful magical light suddenly shimmered across the tral notice board in the Adventurers' Hall.
The special dispy immediately grabbed the attention of everyone in the hall.
It usually signaled some sort ent h-value mission.
Uhe gaze of hundreds of eyes, a few lines of surprising tasks appeared on the board:
"Ruin Development Task - Advanced, issioned by the Carlisle Family and Bay Territory."
"Task Details: Recruiting mid-level her adveo explore newly excavated ruins in Bay Territory, located in the Misty S."
"Potential Dangers: Mid-sized underground ruin undead creatures, war golems, structs, mid-level her magical creatures in groups."
"Task Rewards: Each exploration pays a subsidy of 20 gold s per person, and upon pleting three explorations, you’ll receive a pieagical equipment."
"Ruin Profits: All spoils from the ruins will be purchased at 15% above market value. Any adventurer who submits items worth more than 5 gold s per day will receive a free vial of Vitality Potion!"
"Bonus Task 1: Capture trolls. Capturing or subduing oroll will a bounty of 50 gold s. No limit on task pletion."
"Bonus Task 2: Capture murlocs. Capturing or subduing one murlo the designated area will 2 silver s. No limit on task pletion."
"Daily rewards, lucrative returns—adventurers looking to strike it rich, head to the Misty S!"
The two distinct types of tasks caused a stir among nearly all the adventurers in the hall.
Almost every adventurer present could find a task that suited their abilities and experience.
The most importaail was that the rewards for any task were quite generous.
Aside from the adventurer groups eyeing the magical ons and equipment, the majority were more ied iwo seemingly sedary bonus tasks.
Capturing murlocs was a bit troublesome but posed little danger, making it perfect for low-level adventurers looking to gain experience.
The impressive rewards for capturing trolls, oher hand, were bound to tempt many mid-level adventurers.
After gatheriails from the Adventurers' Hall,
many learhat the Thorn Mert Guild would be heading to the Misty S and Bay Territory tomorrow, and they rushed to sign up.
Matthew slowly withdrew his gaze, refleg on the busy figures of the adventurers, and couldn’t help but sigh:
"As expected, adventurers are always so blind…"
Then, thinking of his own past experiences, Matthew’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Yaya, fast asleep, turned over slightly, ling fortably in Ange’s arms, a sweet smile on her babyish face.
She must be dreaming of something delicious!
Passing through Adventurers' Street, the carriage stopped outside the municipal hall of Blood Moon City.
The sharp-eyed guard at the dhe Ser family crest and, thinking of Bay Territory’s ret events, smiled and stepped forward.
The burly Beelzebub, notig the ck of fear on the guard’s face, muttered to himself as he opehe carriage door.
"Sir Matthew, Lord Halley has been expeg you."
Butler Ralph smiled and him, handing the reins to the guard and leaving five silver s in his surprised hand as he said:
"Wait here for a bit. We’ll be back soon."
The guard gdly took the reins, quite happy with his extra tip.
Matthew, Beelzebub, and Ralph walked into the hall.
Many people cast curious g Beelzebub’s t figure.
Then, when they saw Matthew’s Arist insignia, they were shocked into silence, only whispering among themselves after he had entered.
"Who was that?"
"An Arist that young?"
"I don’t reize him. Could he be an heir from a major family?"
"That’s the Ser family crest. I heard the Ser family retly established territory in the Misty S…"
"The same Bay Territory that sells Vitality Potion?"
"Yes, it’s from the Ser family—no wonder…"
"Have you heard the test?"
"You mean the Carlisle family and Bay Territory?"
"Exactly…"
